Hi Chris,
You don't know me. I see you
are a Dell expert, and I need help with my two used Dell PowerEdge 2400's (1999
& 2000). I have the latest OpenManage software which I tried booting the
server with to load Win2003 Small Business Server. Everything goes
well until I swap in the Win software and the computer hangs after about 63% of
the OS is loaded. I did this a number of times, same result, but on
one occasion I got an error message that localhost:1311 is not accepting the
request, so something like that. Also the 2400 freezes and I have to cold
boot it. I set Openmanage to atomically get IP addresses and then typed in
my ISP's dns address. And I had the DSL modem plugged in (also tried it
unplugged, same result). I wanted to use OpenManage to install the OS
because it is supposed to update the BIOS and RAID firmware and other
stuff. What gives? I would try it again and put in static IP
addresses if I knew what numbers to put in. Any suggestions. Thanks
for taking the time to respond. Tom
